Phase One: Your Landscape Design Budget

​We Begin With Your Budget

After our initial phone conversation and appointment schedule, we’ll meet to discuss your vision and what it will take to make it a reality.

While 1 percent of the people I talk with say that money is not an object, chances are you’re one of the 99 percent that does have a budget. That being said the reason we discuss your budget first is so we can achieve the greatest value for the amount of money you’re investing.

During our initial conversation we will discuss the specifics about the overall idea of your project and the particular options you have that will allow us to either move forward or...

Find a good medium that both fit your budget as well as your level of satisfaction.

We will discuss layout, materials and any other options needed to bring your vision to fruition.

The purpose here is to achieve a complete understanding of what you are comfortable with investing, while at the same time maximizing value and creating a project that will bring you years of enjoyment and peaceful pleasure.

Understanding the scope of your budget range, exactly, is like making sure your vehicle is in full working order before you begin a long trip. Only the goal of this journey is to arrive at a design that perfectly represents the backyard landscape you’re after.

But, if you’re like the average client I’ve dealt with over the last 25 years, you’re going to contact multiple contractors, which by the way, is exactly what you should do.

Now say for example:

You contact 5 landscaping companies in St Louis MO; chances are you’ll find yourself trying to decide between 5 different bids, all of which are different amounts.

Wouldn’t you agree that a better approach would be to give each contractor your budget limit, first?

This way, each contractor has an established budget from which they can begin working and you have placed the project in a price range that you are comfortable with investing.

Another benefit to this approach is that even though you may have no clue about the landscape design profession , you do have the ability to look at the different proposals and make a comparison decision based on what you’re getting for your investment dollars.​Simply put, the ultimate goal we are working to accomplish here is the creation of the landscape design you desire, while staying inside of an investment budget that will make you feel as comfortable as resting on the finished product itself.

Phase Two: The Consultation

My Three "St Louis Cardinal" Rules For Every Consultation

The reason I refer to these as St Louis Cardinal rules is for a couple of reasons, the first being that I love the St Louis Cardinals and never miss an opportunity to send out Kudos and good vibes.

Second is because by always keeping these rules in mind, I never forget about who is most important in this conversation (and it’s sure not me). These rules are short simple and mandatory for everyone here at our company.​

Discuss Budget First – As stated above, rarely (about 1 percent of the time) do I come across a client that says money is no object. The rest of the time money is not only an object it’s an elephant, which is why establishing a clear budget range early on is integral to achieving your desired result.

Achieve Mutual Clarity – Think about the last time someone tried to tell you a story or describe an event, only to end with the phrase “I guess you just had to be there, to understand.” This is exactly why I come to your home – so we can achieve clarity, together and have a clear understanding of what’s feasible within your budget and what we may want to rethink. Establishing clarity will not only make you more educated about the entire process, but it allows you to begin to see the end product while it’s still being created.

Establish Camaraderie – I know you’re probably thinking, “camaraderie? Sorry, I’m not hiring you to be my friend; I want you to do a job, that’s it.” That statement is totally understandable.

But, what I’m referring to here is giving yourself a chance to get a better idea of the landscape design professional who you are about to reward with your business and resources.

I always do my best to try to help my clients to see that we are more partners than anything else. The fact is there will always be some type of anxiety about the contracting company you end up hiring and you should get to know your landscape design company, so that you can have a greater understanding of their

Project Views

Ideology

Overall Work Ethic

This will give you an excellent sense of whether this will be a compatible working relationship to be in. It will also provide you with a better sense of trust in the design professional you’ve chosen to provide with your business.

Phase Three: Preliminary Design Presentation and Adjustment Meeting

After our initial consultation has been completed and an agreement to work together confirmed, a preliminary design and proposal will be completed and submitted for your review.

The design will provide a visual of the size, color scheme, and exact plant placement – accompanied with detailed photos of all vegetation and elements; as well as allow for any adjustments that you would like to have added or removed.

The complexity of the design will determine the type of drawing that will be completed - which can either be relatively simple or very complex.

But no matter which it is I will be there to answer any questions until you feel comfortable with both the drawing and with moving forward.

Along with the primary drawing will be an estimated investment amount – which will be based on the primary drawing and will change in proportion with changes to the drawing design.

Our mutual goal up to this point has been and continues to be, creating a landscape design project you’ll love and doing it within the budget you specify.

That’s really it for the process of getting started. Do you have any questions?

No? Okay, great! So give me a call; we can start working to make your vision come to life today!!

Oh I’m sorry, you DOstill have questions…

That's fine! Give me a call! I want to make sure that ALL of your questions are answered to your satisfaction.
